A new image of Matt Damon from Neill Blomkamp'sElysium has been released [via TheFilmStage]. The highly anticipated movie based is in the year 2159 where two classes of people exist: the very wealthy who live on a pristine man-made space station called Elysium, and the rest, who live on an overpopulated, ruined Earth. Secretary Rhodes [Jodie Foster], a hard line government official will stop at nothing to enforce anti-immigration laws & preserve the luxurious lifestyle of the citizens of Elysium. That doesn't stop the people of Earth from trying to get in, by any means they can. When unlucky Max [Damon] is backed into a corner, he agrees to take on a daunting mission that if successful will not only save his life, but could bring equality to these polarized worlds. Elysium also stars Sharlto Copley, Wagner Moura, Alice Braga & Diego Luna. The movie hits theaters on August 9th 2013.
